ACCEPTED

These boils are likely bacterial infection. Some people are more prone to them. Washing with antibacterial soap may help prevent them. You may need to be treated with an oral or topical antibiotic. See your physician or a dermatologist who can treat them properly. It is a good thing that they are draining. Often it is a result of clogged hair follicle. Nurse Hope
